What's in the Box

Nostalgia-style street rods are hotter than ever, and nothing gives your vintage rod that authentic dry lakes competition look like a set of lakester headers. These exposed small block Chevy headers work great on rods without hoods, but we’ve also seen them peeking through carefully trimmed hood sides. Each lakester header has a flange so you can connect it to a muffled under-car exhaust when the end plate is on.

Nice quality. Perfect fit. No missing hardware. They sound g

The service was great. They kept me informed on the progress of my delivery. The headers were everything I expected. I installed them on my 29 highboy traditional style hot rod.easy install-the header bolts and gaskets completed the process. No complaints.sumthin'

Great set of headers

Bought the lake style headers for a 29 Model A project. They're good quality, built solid with clean welding. Complete with all gaskets fasteners, plates, and flanges. Better price than others and you get everything you need..

After first startup, these headers are smoking pretty bad, I'm assuming due to the paint, is this normal?

Yes any painted header will smoke quite a bit on first start up and is completely normal. This may happen for the first several start ups depending upon how hot the exhaust temperature is of your engine.

On the lake style headers number 9300550 we apologize for being limited in muffler devices. The Vortex Cone does minimal muffling and designed for circle track racing to help limit decibel range. Some customers use the 7” extension mufflers and part goes into the header and the other part into the collector. This is a tight fit and others have tried the auger style and ground down the unit to fit into the tapered cone. This also has minimal exhaust sound reduction.

See details below about headers.
The dimensioned schematic shows the headers coming off the block horizontally straight out. The picture makes it apear they come of the block down at an angle from straight. What do they do?

What kind of paint are the plain ones painted with?
Is it a high temp paint? Or just an etching primer? Is it black like the photo?

If I opt to use the turnouts and run no exhaust underneath the vehicle... are there end plates made for the collectors on the bottom that can be installed? Or are there headers available in that format?

i want my Exhaust exit to be only through the End of Large 3 1/2" Megaphone. Do you offer this Lake Style Header without the 2" bottom exhaust outlet pre-welded in place?

We apologize but the lake style headers number 9300550 all have the exhaust drops on the bottom of the larger tubes and we cannot do a one time order from the manufacturer. The way to get these as desired is a header kit such as number 9300559 or 9300560.

NOTE: Turn-outs NOT included. Headers come with end plates, but the turn outs are sold separately.

Chrome Warning: Due to a revised chroming process brought on by recent EPA regulations and high labor costs, today's chrome is not the quality of days gone by. Be Aware: Exhaust components which are chrome plated are now much more susceptible to blueing, blistering, peeling & corrosion. No warranty or returns on chrome exhaust items once them have been installed.
